The next thing I need is an articulated mouth and the ability to spit fire. And spikes on my back!

Yeah, that'll help elderly people with mobility issues β hucking another 5 kg of metal, motors and batteries around.
The way itβs depicted, the weight will be felt around the center point of the body. Thatβs where it exerts the least force. Also I contest the notion that a difference of 5kg is that significant, even in elderly people.
